Thanks Arvinder. "arvinder" wrote : 1) The state of an endpoint service in the registry. This would be needed for clients and also reporting. If this was supported I'd expect it to be part of the EPR. Each Service can have multiple EPRs and the "state" of each could be different, right? "arvinder" wrote : 2) Each service should be categorised, either via a hardcoding of type under the registry, or a spi provided categorization. This may lead to signatures like searchByCategory etc. We were saying that this type of more advanced lookup might be part of a future release. JAXR has the ideas of Service "Classification" and "Concept" and I'd guess that these could be used as parameters to a lookup. In the mean time though, the client/user can manually filter the Service list returned from getServices by manually interpretting the Classification/Concept settings on each Service. "arvinder" wrote : 5) Aside from just services, will the registry hold dependant objects such as an XSD if there is say a validation service? Would this be classed as a ServiceResources and be grouped under the ServiceEntry such as ServiceEntry.getResources() ? Note really sure about this Arvinder. So does the client need access to the physical XSD, or does it simply request the service to perform validation "XYZ"?
